Distributor Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution was asked by HBO to pull Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage from its syndicated lineup citing low ratings after one year.  Both shows will cease being available in off-net syndication as of this fall.  Stations had scheduled the shows mainly in late-night and the shows are averaging a 0.6 live plus same day household rating. HBO made the decision to have the shows pulled as TV stations would be moving them even later on schedules which could potentially deliver even lower ratings.

Thursday A18-49 Analysis:  FOX was infallible Thursday night delivering a 4.9/14 among A18-49, according to final national ratings from Nielsen. American Idol had success for FOX at 8p with a 6.5/20 followed by CBS’ sitcoms The Big Bang Theory and Rules of Engagement with an average of 3.0/9.  ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy slipped into first place during 9p with a 3.2/9 with FOX’s Bones nipping in #2 at 3.2/8.  At 10p, The Mentalist on CBS won with 2.7/7 and ABC was next with Private Practice at 2.3/6.
